Well, I got a new team here that I need rated. I put together some pokes that seem to help each other out. So, without furtherado, here's my team. I'd think it sucks cause yeah, I'm a noob.

Lead/Special Wall
Meow Mix (Heatran) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Flamethrower
- Roar
- Earth Power

This guy is mainly just to set up rocks and take special hits. Sometimes to kill things.

Defensive Tank:
Spiiiin (Donphan) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP
Impish Nature
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock

Yeah, the title. You know how it is.

Physical Sweeper:
MASSACRE (Terrakion) @ Leftovers
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Spd/ 4 HP / 252 Atk
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Substitute

Powerful? You bet your sweet ass. This thing can basically wreck anything. I use substitute.....just because.

Special Sweeper:
Moth Woman (Volcarona) @ Life Orb
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 252 Spd / 4 HP / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Flamethrower
- Solarbeam

This thing can almost wreck everything. I guess. After one Butterfly Dance, it's pretty much a rape machine. I put Timid on there so I can maybe outspeed some scarfers after +1.

Support #1
Foxeh (Ninetales) @ Leftovers
Trait: Drought
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- SolarBeam

She's here to set up some sun, what many said that this team needs. I hate using weather... but it's for the best.

Support #2
Smexy (Espeon) @ Leftovers
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Psychic
- Hidden Power [Ice]

She's here to basically bounce stuff back and set up dual screens.

I need suggestions and help on my teambuilding in Gen V. I just seem to suck at it. If you give me suggestions I'd really appreciate it!
 
you posted this in the chat of pokemon showdown, so I figure I might as well post my comments here so they're not missed.

-get rid of torterra, milotic, and whimsicott. none of them are any good in OU.
-add Ninetales. your team almost cries out for it. I suggest Sunny Day Ninetales.
-add Venusaur. if you add sun, it fits; conversely, just put CB terrakion on or something.
-add a spinner (forretress or Donphan) or Espeon; your team has hazard issues and nothing to get rid of them.
 
Hey, nice team.

First, you are Starmie weak. With the exception of Milotic, and maybe Whimsicott, you can't really take a Life Orb boosted attack with anything. To that end, I would swap Torterra out for a defensive Ferrothorn, which walls most rain teams, which this team would struggle against, and sets up on the majority of water types.

Secondly, entry hazards, particularly Stealth Rocks, are going to severely limit the lifespan of your sweepers, and so that particular combination may not be particularly effective against some teams, also due to the overlapping types of Volcarona and Darmanitan.

And basically small things. For most of your 'mons, you've only used 554 of the EVs you can use. Just stick the last 4 in health or something.

Superpower and Earthquake have poor coverage together. Swap Earthquake for Rock Slide, which combines well with Fighting moves and benefits from Sheer Force.

On Volcarona, HP Ground or Rock allow you to take on more of your counters than Electric does, so they'd probably be more useful.

Anyway, nice team, and welcome
